Thanks Jon... Sounds like something I can enjoy... but I definitely have to be in the right mood for it. If I am not in just the right mood for something like that I won't enjoy it... and it would seem more like work to watch it then anything else.

After having to get that TV I wasn't going to do it... but I wanted it so bad I just couldn't resist... so I did order 1 TV Show boxset for $18 and change...

UNSUB (Starring David Soul, Richard Kind and Jennifer Hetrick)

Roger... as resident Westerns expert... what can you tell me about The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada ?

I think Roger may have missed this...  ;)

Western is an emotive term, although technically correct. Three Burials is a strange film, but quite brilliant. I really can't make a call on whether you'll like it or not, Pete. It's a drama, so no action to speak of, but it's a very emotional story, so engrossing nonetheless.

Jon, is right...I missed that question.  I have to admit I have not seen this film and have not really even heard of it before.  I must admit I prefer my westerns to be set in the past rather than in contemporary times.

Feeling a little guilty about this... I canceled this month's pre-order. It was a horror movie... I have time to get it before October.

Oh, it's an excellent film, Pete, no doubt about it. It's just quirky and not known for it's gunfights.

I can't remember the exact details, but basically, Tommy Lee Jones has a Mexican friend. I believe he employs him. Estrada is killed by an over zealous border patrolman and buried with minimal fuss like any old criminal. Tommy, determined to do right by Estrada and bury him in his home town in Mexica, kidnaps Barry Pepper (the border cop) and forces him to dig up Estrada and carry him across the border. Along the way, Pepper is fearful for his life and there is gallows humour with the body of Estrada ever-present! But it's actually a poignant story about morals overall.

I do wonder if it had any influence on Tommy Lee Jones' next contemporary Western, No Country For Old Men.

Actually I just wanted to revisit Meerapfel's debut feature Malou, which I love for very personal reasons. Unfortunately, it isn't available separately anywhere. So today I decided on a whim to go all overkill and pony up the 50 euros for this set.
